closest thing I can see in my library is the colon characters in the adventure time spinoff series which apparently SMB changes to division symbols?

screenshot of two folders originally labeled Adventure Time: Distant Lands and Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake
when viewed through an SMB file share the colon characters are replaced with division symbols (÷) because Windows does not allow colons in file names

apple music said IPA? tired HPA (hangul phonetic alphabet)? wired 😍

A screenshot of lyrics view in Apple Music for the track Ray Gun by The Bird and the Bee, the song is in English and the English lyrics are displayed with transliterations in Korean hangul underneath. Note: the lyrics have not been translated into Korean, the hangul is just approximating what the English words sound like

A screenshot of lyrics view in Apple Music for the track Ray Gun by The Bird and the Bee, the song is in English and the English lyrics are displayed with transliterations in Korean hangul underneath. The “translate” icon has been tapped to show a submenu with options for ‘Hide Pronunciation’ and ‘Show Translation’, and ‘Show Translation’ is greyed out, indicating that the hangul has been added to this track specifically as a pronunciation guide for some reason

I love it when museums let visitors write and put up little comment cards

Close-up image of several hanging comment cards, the in-focus comment card has a drawing of an Among Us crewmate wearing a party hat and text above it saying "Women Rule!"
